pics arent loading for some reason. IMO, it looks pretty good. :)

I saw that one in person, there was another one about 10 parking space down, black one.

I take back my comments that it looks like a Honda with a Mazda badge. Upon closer inspection, it looks like a Toyota with a Mazda badge. And RX8 headlights. :-|

I don't like the front end and the rims...besides that, it isn't too bad.

Better than the last 6 for sure though.

I like my MS6 better.

looks lexus es330ish

The pic is a showing a Camry with a modified badge. What gives? :dunno:

i saw a different one, a white one, and i really thought it looked quite stunning in person. the tail is really short and the backlight slopes down quite a bit to an almost fastback look. it's a very busy and cluttered design but it's a cool-looking car...for a 4-door sedan

the main problem i have with the car is epitomized in these 2 pics.

there is just too much real estate between the outside bottom "corner" or the headlamp and the upper edge of the grill/ fog lamp.

if they had brought the corner of the headlamp down so that its bottom edge was horizontal and parallel with grill/fog lamp upper edge the whole thing would have been much better.

as it stands the headlamps look just too small but other wise i really like the car

Overall, I'm really starting to like the shape. Want to see in person.

I think it looks good. As Zoom said there is a large space between the fog light grille and the head light. It (foglight housng) should have been a little larger/taller.
All in all it is a nice looking car.

I've driven the 4banger version and I was blown away by the interior fit finish and room. Even with the 4 and to 6spd auto the car had getup. The steering felt good, a little light, but accurate and the roll was controlled. This car should sell quite well, in person I think it looks great.

Looks dam good! aside from all the water spots on the car ;)

Actually, I like it how it is. I think it would get a kind of camry-ish look about it if they were to do what you proposed.

Car looks damn good, just a few suggestions. The first thing on anyone's to-do list with this car should be, 1) 20% tint-sides and back window 2) Wheels-19's preferably 3) drop it.

where's teh clear corners!!!!!!!!!

:)

Looks pretty good. I want to see the speed version

I hate the cheap color color coded grill.

If you look focus on just the fenders, it looks like Mazda took them straight from the 8.

I think its a common theme they're going for. The fenders are similar to the cx's and the 8. I'm excited for it. Thinking about getting my fiancee' trade in her cx-7 for it and tint the balls off of it.

Looks like the shots were taken at MNA headquarters in Irvine. Damn security guards. Sleeping on the job AGAIN.

but you know what is DOESN'T have? That stupid black plastic mustache piece they stuck on the "09 rx-8, the cx-7 and several others. yay!!!

Yeah I hate that grille. Looks way too much like a Mazda3. They should of stuck with a simple mesh grille.
